Sunday's streaking and slumping Pitchers
By Covers

Streaking
Gil Meche (Kansas City Royals)
Gil Meche is sometimes forgotten in the Royals rotation after what Zack Greinke has accomplished this season. That diversion could be why the right-hander has quietly built a 2-0 record and an ERA under 1.00 in his past four starts.Meche hasn’t given up an earned run in his last two outings, most recently pitching a complete-game shutout against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He allowed just four hits and struck out six batters. During this current hot stretch, he has totaled 26 K’s while walking 11 batters."The crowd kind of carries you through it." Meche told reporters after Tuesday’s start. "It's kind of funny, I was running out there and the crowd stands up and starts cheering.”

Ricky Romero (Toronto Blue Jays)
No rotation has been bitten harder by the injury bug than the Toronto Blue Jays. However, if Ricky Romero continues to perform at his current level, the Jays may just weather this storm.The rookie is coming off an impressive display against the defending World Series champs. He went seven innings, giving up three runs on six hits while striking out a career-high nine batters in Toronto’s 8-3 extra-innings win over Philadelphia Tuesday.While he earned a no-decision in that game, Romero has given up seven earned runs in his last 20 1-3 innings of work for 1-1 record and an ERA just over 3.00. Run support has spoiled many of the left-hander’s gems this season and put a damper on his strikeout-to-walk tally of 20-to-6 in the last three games.

Slumping
Mark Buehrle (Chicago White Sox)
Mark Buehrle has dominated the headlines this past week. However, none of the attention is due to his pitching.The ChiSox ace has been vocal over two of sports’ biggest issues this week, commenting on Sammy Sosa’s steroid use and Michael Vick’s return to the NFL. Buehrle even got some praise for belting his first-career home run in his most recent start.What the papers didn’t tell you is that the southpaw gave up four runs – on three home runs – in six innings of work, dropping his record to 0-1 in his past three trips to the mound. The White Sox are 1-2 in those games, watching Buehrle serve up five dingers and post an ERA of 5.75 in that span.

Wandy Rodriguez (Houston Astros)
In a down year for the Astros, Wandy Rodriguez was a ray of hope for bettors. Behind faltering ace Roy Oswalt, the left-hander started the season by helping Houston win seven of his first nine 2009 starts.Since recording his fifth win of the year on May 20, Rodriguez hasn’t added to that total. In his last five starts, he is 0-4 with an ERA just below 7.00.His most recent trip to the mound lasted only four innings. Rodriguez surrendered six hits, including three home runs, for six runs to the Texas Rangers.

Tips and Trends

Houston Astros at Minnesota Twins

Astros: Houston is just 5-12 in its last 17 interleague matchups. The Astros have lost seven of their past nine games to Minnesota. Left-hander Wandy Rodriguez does not have a strong interleague mark and is in bad form right now. Rodriguez is 5-6 with a 5.02 EA in 14 interleague starts. Houston is 7-19 in Rodriguez’s last 26 road outings versus a team with a winning record. Rodriguez opened with a 5-2 record and 1.83 ERA during his first nine starts this season. Since then, though, he has dropped four of his last five appearances and has a 6.93 ERA during that span. Rodriguez was whacked around in his last start. He yielded six runs, six hits and five walks in just four innings during a 6-1 loss to the Rangers Tuesday. The Rangers smacked three home runs against him. Lance Berkman is 3-for-30 against American League opponents this season.

The Astros are 5-16 in their last 21 games versus American League Central teams.
The Under is 14-3-1 in Houston’s past 18 interleague matchups.

Key Injuries - Geoff Blum (hamstring) is on the DL

PROJECTED SCORE: 4

Twins (-$1.25, O/U 8.5): The Twins have yet to lose an interleague series this season. Minnesota is 8-3 in interleague competition. The Twins have won 11 of the past 12 times in interleague play when home against a left-handed starter. The Twins have won 72 percent (39-15) of their past 54 interleague home contests. Twins starter Glen Perkins is rounding into shape after coming off the DL because of elbow inflammation. Perkins allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings during an 8-2 win against the Pirates in his last start Tuesday. Perkins has never faced the Astros. He is 3-0 with a 3.96 ERA in four career interleague starts. Joe Mauer is batting .417 with 42 RBIs in 45 games since returning from the DL because of kidney surgery. The Twins could be without second baseman Nick Punto. He’s day-to-day with bruised ribs suffered in Saturday night’s loss to the Astros.

The Under has cashed in 16 of Minnesota’s past 23 games.
The Astros-Twins have gone Under in 8 of their last 10 meetings.

Key Injuries - Denard Span (head) is on the DL.
Nick Punto is questionable with bruised ribs.

PROJECTED SCORE: 5 (Side of the Day)

Los Angeles Dodgers at Los Angeles Angels

Dodgers: The Dodgers have won 12 of their last 17 road games. The Dodgers, however, are not good historically in interleague competition and have struggled through the years playing the Angels on the road. Los Angeles is 14-38 in its last 52 interleague away contests. The Dodgers have lost 20 of their last 27 games on the road against their cross-town rivals, the Angels. The Dodgers are 1-4 in Clayton Kershaw’s past five interleague starts. Kershaw bounced back from his worst start of the season by blanking the Athletics for 5 2/3 innings Tuesday. Kershaw, though, walked three and threw 105 pitches. He did fan eight. In his previous start June 10, Kershaw was roughed up by the Padres in just 2 2/3 innings. He allowed three earned runs on five hits and walked four. The 21-year-old lefty is 0-0 with a 1.80 ERA in one career start versus the Angels.

The Dodgers are 16-5 in the finale of a three-game series.
The Under is 29-13-3 in the Dodgers’ last 45 interleague road games against a right-handed starter.

Key Injuries - Manny Ramirez is suspended.

PROJECTED SCORE: 4

Angels (-$1.30, O/U 8.5 over -$1.15): Angels starter John Lackey is one of the most successful pitchers in interleague history. The Angels have won 17 of Lackey’s last 22 interleague starts. Lackey has been brilliant versus the Dodgers. He’s 5-1 against them in eight starts with a 1.50 ERA in 54 innings pitched. Lackey received his first win in his last five starts on Monday defeating the Giants on the road, 9-7. Lackey gave up three earned runs in seven innings. He scattered 10 hits and had 10 strikeouts and did not yield a base on balls. He threw 106 pitches, of which 74 were strikes. The Angels had their season-high seven-game winning streak halted Saturday night by the Dodgers. The Angels are 18-7 in their last 25 interleague home contests. The Angels also are 18-7 in Lackey’s past 25 Sunday starts. The under is 16-5-3 in Lackey’s last 24 interleague starts.

The Under is 18-8-1 in umpire Mark Carlson’s last 27 games behind home plate.
